Overview:

The Fund exists to support specific research projects. This means that it does not
normally give general support expeditions, nor does it usually support
undergraduates or field work undertaken as part of a PhD or Masters qualification.
In recent years the Trustees have focused their support on field work in the life and
earth sciences, both through expeditions,...and through individual research projects
overseas.

These grants are for field work abroad (away from your usual country of residence) in the earth and life sciences. The Trustees consider that expeditions involving botanical or zoological collecting should indicate that the interests of conservation have been taken into account.

You can learn more about this opportunity by visiting the funder's website.

Eligibility:

No requirements are laid down as to prior qualifications or nationality.

Projects must consider matters such as conservation and international relations.

The establishment of good relations between those undertaking overseas research and their host countries is very important.

Preferences:

Priority will be given to projects where local scientists have been contacted and are aware of the proposed research, with a view to collaborating or giving assistance and/or where there is an opportunity for local university students to participate usefully.
